Brumstopdogs Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Would be pleased with finishing in the top 10 (for the first time in ages) and finishing as the top placed midlands side. Would love top 7 but can't see it this season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) 3/4 games of our next games are at home. We are strong at home currently 7th in the home PL table. Only losing to Chelsea and Liverpool in the last 6 games. Edited January 2, 2023 by messi11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could go on a brilliant run and still not even crack top 8 due to coming from way behind ( Kenneth GIF ) Agreed. But we have a manager who has a massive reputation, much of it built on European success. Survival is barely the start of his target for this season I suspect, and he won't see a competition like the Europa Conference League as a ball-ache; he'll see it as an opportunity and drive the players to go up a level.

turvontour Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 8th or 9th would be a really decent finish this season, given the poor start. Would be highest league finish in more than a decade and give us a great platform into next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t need to finish above Wolves this year to keep that trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 We won’t get Europe. We have dropped too many points against the lesser sides under Gerrard. We should have beaten Forest, Bournemouth and Leeds away, and then we’d have been in with a shout. I just think we’re too far behind and it would take an epic run, the kind where the grim reaper is visiting 4/5 doors at a time, to get near the top 7. No reason we can’t finish in the top 10 with Emery though. That needs to be our aim before an all out assault next season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was invented for the likes of Wolves Stoke and the Baggies Yes, I would be pleased if we were the top placed (in the league) midlands side - something we haven't been for a long time. Just another sign of getting back to where we belong / like a top 10 position. If it's not something you care about then fair enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Villa are improving though so if we can start to beat the teams below us then top eight (maybe seventh) becomes possible. I have much more faith in Villa with Emery as manager since O'Neill, the players will believe too and collectively they will be aiming high. “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans are allowed to get carried away. I'm aiming for 7th and not afraid to say it out loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically under Emery we have a MON with Elite level tactics to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason we can’t finish in the top 10 with Emery though. That needs to be our aim before an all out assault next season! Overplaying the lost points under Gerrard. Those points would have helped but plenty of teams around us have and will drop similar games. Chelsea did only yesterday. We've still got plenty of games more favourable than those you've mentioned, and now we've an elite manager to take us through them. 11 home games remaining include 6 bottom half sides plus Fulham and Brighton. The other are Spurs who we've just convincingly beat, Newcastle which will like Spurs be tough but winnable, and Arsenal. Away games look a bit trickier, but we've still 5 left against teams currently below us in the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I believe that we will win a minimum of 10-12 league games before the end of the season. The rest I’m not sure on but overall 10-12 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
